About Me

    My journey to becoming a doula and childbirth educator began
    in mid 2007 when my husband and I found out that we were
    expecting our first baby.  I, as most mothers-to-be, had never
    heard of the word "doula."  Through my search on all things
    baby and birth I was able to answer that question and found an
    amazing childbirth preparation course called Hypnobabies.  
    My husband was a little iffy about this, but I insisted, so we
    signed up for the six-week course.  This is where my life
    changed, even more so than it already had.  Our Hypnobabies
    instructor, who is also a doula, opened our eyes to the amazing
    thing that birth is, that it can be such an empowering event in
    a woman's life and that it truly is a right of passage.  After we
    completed our six week Hypnobabies course we asked our
    instructor to join us at the birth as our doula and in April of
    2008 she helped us welcome our beautiful and amazing son
    into this world.  From that moment on, I knew that I wanted to
do what she did.  I want to help women have an amazing experience for every birth they have.  I
want to help women know that their bodies are perfectly made to birth and that the more we stay
out of the way of this natural process, the better the birth experience can be.

Since then I have completed my certification as a Hypnobabies Childbirth Hypnosis Instructor
(HCHI) and HypnoDoula and I have been honored to serve several families through their
individual and beautiful birth journeys.
